“Randy Miller has created a funny and heart-warming story about people searching for something,” said Samuel Goldwyn Jr. in a statement, “The superb cast represents something in all of us who have ever taken a risk in love. It will make audiences want to go out and take a ballroom dance lesson, or fall in love… or both.”

Miller and Savin produced the film with Morris Ruskin, and Eileen Craft. The executive producers are Art Klein, Ronald Savin, Eduardo Castro, Carlos Gidi, Kevin Reidy, Lon Bender, and Jeffrey Lampert. Co-Producers are Randi Hiller and Sarah Finn. Goldwyn president Meyer Gottlieb and head of acquisitions Peter Goldwyn negotiated the deal with CAA and Shoreline Entertainment, handling sales of of the film, for Miller and Savin.
